A Quantitative Study on Carbon Sequestration - An Analysis of Changbai Mountain Forest Example

Abstract

Climate change presents a massive threat to life as we know it. To mitigate the effects of climate change, we need to take drastic action to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere [1]. Most informed analysts now believe that the climate is warming. First, we engineer an ideal model, which the forest in the theory is a healthy, expanding forest free of fire and other natural calamities, and the plant biome remains intact. The carbon sequestration of the forest per unit area is considered to be A, implying that the total carbon sequestration of the forest is C1=A*S without any tree removal. we divide into two parts, one is exceeding cut of forests, and the other is cutting half of the forests. Then, we can calculate the total of the carbon storage. In addition, we design two specific models——the age of trees and types in Changbai Mountain forest. By using existing data, we can make several line charts, and we can know the concrete ranges, which could find the best forests' managemant. Through this way and our model, we can know what is the spectrum of management plans that your decision model may suggest? Are there any conditions which would result in a forest that should be left uncut. Are there transition points between management plans that apply to all forests? How are characteristics about a specific forest and its location used to determine transition points between management plans.
